Biography
Artaxerxes of Baghdad was born in the Province of Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) of the Eastern Roman Empire in 400 AD, and he was a slave's son. As a slave, he wanted to escape his slavery and be something more, so his father sold him to gladiator school. Educated in the arts of warfare, Artaxerxes was one of the men sent to fight in gladiatorial games in the city of Phraaspa, where games were held daily. Artaxerxes killed Tombo of Juba with a spear, but was killed by Commodus of Jerusalem with a sword.
